What can concrete support for intimate partner violence survivors look like from a prison abolitionist perspective? What can it look like in practice to support survivors while being acutely aware of both the dangers of...

Haymarket Books LiveAbolition. Feminism. Now. w/ Angela Davis, Mariame Kaba, Gina Dent, Erica Meiners & Beth RichieJoin Angela Y. Davis, Gina Dent, Erica R. Meiners, and Beth E. Richie for an urgent conversation moderated by Mariame Kaba.

As we fight to defund or abolish police and imprisonment, we need to be wary of ways that strengthen other forms of surveillan...
